Ebrake Adjustment

[Wausau 911]

My '04 apparently had never been adjusted to the 4 clicks recommended. I reviewed a tutorial post on this and after a considerable time of trying to locate the adjustment screw on the rear wheels just couldn't find them, so I adjusted the under armrest box cable to the correct clicks. Should this cause any problems down the line since I didn't follow proper procedure? Ebrake works fine now. Just wodering. Thx for replys.

As long as you are not adjusting the cable engagement to mask rear brake pads needing to be replaced, and as long as you aren't adjusting the cable engagement too far out of spec (causing either a constant partial engagement or excessive force applied when the e-brake is engaged), you're fine. Do remember that you will need to readjust the cable when you eventually replace the rear pads.

That said, this video does a great job highlighting exactly where the adjustment screw is:

Thx Jason, I was looking for a "normal" screw to turn, not the one in the video.

He does cover the "normal" screw to adjust at 3:35 in the video.

The video also shows how the e-brake adjustment screw works - at about 1:15.
